A New Exodus Begins

Feb 22, 2026 • The Rev. Ben Jones

Matthew's account of Jesus' temptation is read first through a wide lens, as part of the Bible's story of new exodus and new creation, and then up close, with a starving Jesus offered bread after forty days. Temptation, the sermon argues, invites us to meet a real need in a faithless way, and it sounds most reasonable when we are vulnerable. Baptism is likened to receiving a passport, marking believers as citizens of heaven already.
